For processors, manufacturers, traders, retailers and other supply chain organisations seeking verified control over material sourcing, handling and traceability.
Preferred by Nature Due Diligence Certification helps organisations strengthen sourcing controls, manage supply chain risks and demonstrate that products originate from responsible and compliant sources.
The certification focuses on key elements of effective due diligence, including source information, supplier management, risk assessment, risk mitigation and traceability. It provides a structured, risk-based approach to evaluating products and accepting only those that meet defined conformance requirements.
The certification is particularly valuable for organisations seeking greater confidence in their sourcing systems and stronger oversight of complex supply chains.
For organisations seeking assurance related to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), an additional EUDR module can be included as part of the certification.
Preferred by Nature Due Diligence Certification offers two certification pathways, depending on your sourcing objectives and assurance needs.
Generic due diligence certification
A risk-based certification option for organizations that want to strengthen sourcing controls, assess supply chain risks, and verify that products meet defined conformance requirements.
Suitable for organizations seeking a structured due diligence system that supports responsible sourcing and supplier management.
EUDR-aligned due diligence certification
Combines the core due diligence requirements with an additional EUDR module designed for organisations seeking assurance related to EUDR requirements.
Suitable for organisations looking to strengthen EUDR readiness and demonstrate robust due diligence processes.
